| How long after I
have my teeth removed until I can get my denture? |
Immediate
Denture: An immediate denture is a denture that is
manufactured and placed in your mouth the same day you have your
teeth removed. A consultation is required a day or two prior
to this procedure. At this consultation, your dental provider
will determine whether you are a candidate for an immediate
denture. Some patients will need to have some of their teeth
removed early and have 6 - 8 weeks of healing time. Then they
will come back and have the remainder of their teeth pulled and the
denture inserted that same day.

| Can I get an
Immediate Denture in one day? |
A consultation
appointment is required the day prior to having an immediate denture
manufactured.
|
| What is the benefit
of waiting 6-8 weeks before getting your new denture after getting
your teeth pulled? |
Healing time of 6 - 8
weeks allows for any swelling that may occur with your extractions
to go down. Less swelling means that you will have a better
fit on your dentures.
|
| Do the prices of
your dentures include tooth extractions? |
Extractions are not included in the prices quoted for
dentures. A consultation with your dental provider will tell
you if your extractions can be performed at our office.
|
| Are there any
special requirements when a person gets a partial denture? |
Because a partial
denture hooks to your natural teeth, a dental hygiene cleaning is
required within 6 months of having the partial made. If it has
been longer than 6 months since your last cleaning, you may schedule
a cleaning with our Dental Hygienist the same day as your
appointment.
|
| What is the maximum
number of teeth that can be pulled in one day for an immediate
denture? |
That question can
only be answered by your dental provider. Some extractions may
be more difficult than others and may require a visit to an oral
surgeon.
|
| Do I have to have
an appointment, or can I just walk in? |
At Dental Centers, you are welcome to make an appointment or just walk in anytime during regular business hours.
Appointments are preferred, but not required.
An appointment assures you are scheduled for a specific day and time, which usually reduces your wait time and gets you in to see the dentist more quickly.
Walk-ins are always welcome without an appointment.
Our staff will make every effort to get you in to see a dentist as quickly as possible.
Walk-ins may have a slight wait time until a dentist is available, and may have to return for additional work.
|
| Do you accept
dental insurance or have payment plans available for services? |
To better serve you,
we offer payment plans (subject to credit approval - some restrictions
may apply) and accept Delta Dental Insurance. Thus, offering you even
more opportunities to get the smile you deserve. |
